NFL | Williams could be the 1
Thu, 20 Apr 2006 09:15:16 -0700

Jim Wyatt, of the Tennessean, reports North Carolina State DE Mario Williams may be making a bid to be taken No. 1 overall in the upcoming draft. His measurables are off the charts. Williams stands 6-7 and weighs nearly 300 pounds. He runs the 40-yard dash in 4.7 seconds. "I haven't seen a guy like this in years,'' Tennessee Titans Coach Jeff Fisher said of Williams. "I've seen solid players, impact players, but nobody that has a potential to impact a defense like him.''

Vikings | Could move around on draft day?
Thu, 20 Apr 2006 09:14:18 -0700

Sean Jensen, of the Pioneer Press, reports Minnesota Vikings vice president of player personnel Fran Foley is not opposed to trading up during the upcoming NFL Draft. He said the team could move up or down a couple of spots, but the team is avoiding reaching on a player. He added history over the past 20 years shows teams won't move more than six or seven spots because it's too big of a jump. The Vikings have an NFL-high five picks amongst the top 95 selections. He also added the team has talked about just staying put, taking their selections and being happy with where they are already slotted.

NFL | White brings a lot to the table?
Thu, 20 Apr 2006 09:38:56 -0700

Megan Manfull, of the Houston Chronicle, reports several running backs will likely be taken in the first round of the NFL draft. Among them is University of Southern California RB LenDale White (hamstring). White was picked by many as the No. 2 running back in the draft after his teammate Reggie Bush. However, a blown hamstring has kept him from working out for teams and lowered his draft stock somewhat. Still, White is expected to be among the top running backs chosen in the 2006 NFL Draft. White is one of the bigger backs available. "I think how big I am and how strong I am helps me out a lot," White said. "I'm kind of happy to be in this class because you get a lot more touchdowns when you're big."

Man, if the Texans pull a stunner, then everything could change.

I dont think there is anyway the Texans pull a stunner and pick some one other than Bush. This guy is the best player coming out of a draft in awhile (that we have seen). Williams does not fit the system (3-4) in houston unless they plan on changing there system because of an end. thats just my opinion.
